2018 Niue $2 1-oz Silver Star Wars Emperor Palpatine Proof

Pure Evil on Pure Silver – Official Star Wars™ Legal Tender Silver Emperor Palpatine Gem Proofs!

One of the biggest bad guys in all of film history, Darth Vader™ made people cower in fear from one end of the galaxy to the other. So how bad does someone have to be to scare even HIM?! We found out in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi when we were introduced to Emperor Palpatine, the personification of evil and Darth Vader's lord and master. Who could forget Palpatine maniacally torturing Luke Skywalker with lightning unleashed from his fingers – even Vader had to look away! The Emperor was finally defeated when Vader summoned the courage to sacrifice his life and destroy Palpatine and save Luke.

Now, as the internet is abuzz with rumors and fan theories that he will return from the dead in the next installment in the Star Wars™ cinematic universe, the Pacific island nation of Niue has just released a brand new, officially licensed one-ounce silver proof featuring the image of the contemptuously evil Emperor Palpatine ready to inflict mortal agony from his crooked outstretched fingers! In addition, the coin is officially licensed by Lucasfilm and Disney so you know it lives up to the high standards Star Wars fans have come to expect.

This impressive one-ounce silver proof is minted in highly-pure 99.9% silver with a mintage of 10,000. It will come in gorgeous Gem Proof condition, meaning it was expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields! Your proof will also arrive in its official mint packaging and accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity. As an official $2 legal-tender coin, it features the royal portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, as well as the 2018 year date and the two dollar denomination.

As any Star Wars fan can tell you, Emperor Palpatine led a double life – one as a respected member of the Galactic Senate, the other as Darth Sidious, a Sith lord who used fear, tyranny and devious political scheming to become supreme chancellor and finally emperor of the galaxy. His greatest crime, however, was how he preyed upon and groomed young Anakin Skywalker to grow up to become the dreaded Darth Vader.

You'd need to be extra strong with the Force to survive an encounter with the vile and nasty Emperor Palpatine. Fortunately, you don't have to risk life and limb to get this coin; all you need to do is click it to your cart!
